Librarian LIBRARY The library this year passed the 10,000 volume mark and continued to enjoy a brisk circulation. One of the first facilities in the school to open in the morning and usually the last to close in the afternoon, the library is in constant use all day. The aims of the staff are to make a friendly and attractive place to do research and recreational reading. The library is available at all times to fulfill the needs and requests of each department with a well-rounded collection of basic reference and subject material and a wide variety of fiction. The efficiency of its operations and its value to the overall purposes of the school are due in large measure to a staff of dedicated, hard-working student assistants. 15

GUIDANCE Do I have to take another year of P.E.? How can I fit typing into my schedule? Is there a college somewhere that will take me? These were but a few of the questions typically directed to the guidance department. Mr. Grindle, sophomore counselor, and Miss Rawley, freshman coun¬ selor, concentrated on orienting underclassmen. Working individually with the students, they enabled them to facilitate their academic success and recognize their strengths and limitations. The senior and junior counselors, Dr. Ash, Mr. Coggin, and Mrs. Hammond, spent endless hours helping students gain the greatest benefit from their last two years in high school. Vocational opportunities and educational goals were sxplored with each future graduate. The department’s extensive program of testing included the administration sf SCAT, STEP, National Merit Scholarship Tests, PSAT, and College Boards. Stocking the reading room with every imaginable college catalogue, career Handbook, and scholarship information was another service the guidance department offered. MRS. CYNTHIA B.
